Two-ingredient pancakes

Our beloved babysitter, Brady, has been making a great lunch for the boys, and I wanted to share it: Pancakes made from eggs + bananas (and blueberries, if you'd like). They're sweet and delicious; you don't even need syrup.

Here's how Brady does it: "To make three pancakes, mash half a banana with a fork in a bowl—it's fine if there are chunks—and then mix in one egg and blueberries (chopped in half). Pour pancake-size amounts into a greased frying pan over medium-low. I keep lifting the edges with a spatula to see if they're browning, and once they are, I flip them over to brown the other side. That's it!"

You can always skip the blueberries, or add other ingredients: Cinnamon, peanut butter, chopped strawberries, chocolate chips, you name it. The boys go c-r-a-z-y for them. Have you ever made them? Thank you so much, Brady!(We added blueberries to these, but you can make them with just egg and banana, if you'd like)

I saw a similar recipe on Oh Joy a couple of years back and have made it from time to time since. We add nut butter to ours and a little flour (1 egg: 1 TBS flour; 1TBS PB; 1 banana). Sometimes we substitute nutella for the nut butter.

Okay, I SO needed this recipe! We love having "breakfast for dinner" nights at home, and this just sounds so easy and yummy, especially for those nights where we just don't have much time. What a great babysitter! :) Thanks for sharing!

My way takes a little more effort but I think they turn out better... mix the banana and egg yolks in a food processor (with cinnamon and vanilla extract). Whip the egg whites with a mixer until light and fluffy, then fold into the banana mixture... scoop into pan and cook like pancakes... they turn out soooo fluffy and delicious!

I make these for my 1 year old twins all the time - I usually make a bunch and keep some for snacks. I also add cottage cheese or yogurt (1/4 cup usually) for extra protein. Haven't tried with blueberries yet but will have to!

I've had these before -- they're so easy and yummy, but definitely taste banana-y, so you have to like bananas! I've made berry syrup to go with them too -- pour a bag of frozen berries into a sauce pan, add 2ish tablespoons of honey and heat it up til the berries are bursting! So good.

These are wonderful! Sitting here in northern England, rather wet and drizzly outside, thought the best antidote to a non-functioning hot water boiler would be a cheering breakfast. Even better than traditional pancakes...had mine with Greek yoghurt, pineapple and mixed nuts. Am ready now to tackle the silent monster upstairs in the cupboard...

I've actually been making a similar four-ingredient version of these myself, with my secret ingredient being spinach! I've posted the recipe here: http://gwensfishfood.com/caseys-grinch-cakes/. I really think they are great for sneaking some veggies into the kids' breakfast!

I just made these and wow- I am officially converted to flour-free pancakes! Not only are they SO easy, but they taste delicious and feel relatively healthy. I need protein in the mornings, so I like that they have eggs in them, and I also added a scoop of peanut butter. Thanks for the post!

Just made these for my boys and I don't think either one cane up for air until they were all consumed. I spread Laughing Cow cheese on them and they were pretty delicious. Thanks for this, I will definitely make them again!
